Ingredients

Scale

For the Base:

  • 2 cups uncooked jasmine or medium-grain rice

For the Chicken:

  • 3 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

For the Sticky Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (low sodium optional)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp arrowroot powder + 2 tbsp water (slurry)

For the Bowls:

  • 2 small heads broccoli, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup seaweed salad (optional)
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Spicy Mayo:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 23 tbsp water (to thin)

Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to package instructions. Fluff and set aside.
  2. Season sliced chicken with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, and oregano.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Steam or sauté broccoli until tender-crisp.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, and ginger.
  6. Return chicken to skillet over medium-low heat. Pour sauce over chicken. Stir in arrowroot slurry and simmer until sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  7. Mix spicy mayo ingredients until smooth and drizzle-ready.
  8. Assemble bowls: add rice, broccoli, carrots, avocado, and chicken. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Lower heat when adding honey sauce to prevent burning.
  • If sauce thickens too quickly, add 1–2 tbsp water to loosen.
  • Chicken thighs can be used for a juicier texture.
  • Great for meal prep—store components separately for up to 4 days.
  • Swap rice for cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
